At the Heart of Christmas
At the Heart of Christmas
Saturday 18 & Sunday 19 December 2021
Our 2021 Christmas Tree Festival had the theme “At the Heart of Christmas”… and we were amazed by how creatively the theme was embraced! Over the 18-19 December weekend, we had 22 Christmas trees on display – each one with its own story. They were provided by a range of uniformed groups, local churches, businesses, and families from across Moulsham Lodge and Tile Kiln.
During the weekend over 200 adults and children enjoyed our Festival, which also included two Children’s Christmas workshops with activities such as printing wrapping paper and making decorations, visits to Santa’s Grotto, and a Christmas Mini-Market with local stall holders. The Festival closed with our “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” Carol Service – it was so lovely to sing by candlelight surrounded by the beautiful trees.
Take a look below at some of the creations from our event:
And the
winner is..!
All visitors to the festival were asked to vote for their favourite children/young person’s Christmas tree – and the winner, by a narrow margin, was “Sharing” by 2nd Moulsham Guides. When asked about what was at the heart of Christmas, the girls answered, “family and sharing”, so all the chocolates and sweets used in creating the tree will be donated to Chelmsford Food Bank to be shared with other Chelmsford families. What a fantastic idea!
